            "I developed a signature movement, a kind of physical vocabulary 
            for the louts, with their heads bobbing and through the show, you 
            can see the development of these movements, starting with "Sensation".

          The 
            louts didn't exist at all until we thought them up for the musical, 
            and I think they've become critical to the story. They actually grow 
            up with Tommy, and he, in a sense, becomes one of them. Ironically, 
            although they abuse him, it's through this interaction that a kind 
            of love for him comes about. Finally, as his security guards, they 
            protect him. The louts turned into six wonderful through-line characters, 
            and I'm very fond of them.
